Sense vs. <any other launcher>?

KryptoNyte · Jun 3, 2012

For anyone out there that uses a different launcher, can you give your opinion on how it compares to Sense?

The one thing I miss is being able to change how many rows and columns appear on the home screen(s). Is this adjustable in some fashion with Sense?

I'm considering trying my SPB Shell 3D on this phone. I'll be doing that Monday after I pick mine up from Radio Shack.

It has an experimental option on there for the Evo 3D.

SPB Shell has really come a long way... it is a really slick interface. I've only experimented with it on lower spec devices. The Evo has the horsepower to let it shine! I now may consider check it out again! Thanks for the reminder!

What does the full version cost nowadays?

I paid $14.99.

I've ran it on a few devices but none have really made use of it. I'm glad I purchased it now though...

I'll stick with Sense until someone ports over AOKP, which will probably be gannon

mastersoup · Jun 3, 2012

love my go launcher

Darkencypher · Jun 3, 2012

Well Nova, apex, and trebuchet give that stock look.

I saw a post that someone use SPB shell 3D on the evo 3D, and he said something (may be the 3D view) only work in landscape mode. I tried it before on my MT, doesn't seems a big of deal for me, just some different effects on it. But it drinks a lot more juice than any other launcher!

Go with go launcher, its light and has good effects.

Being used on a phone like the Triumph, it's bound to be a battery killer. That phone has extremely lower hardware specs.

Haven't really tried any other launchers. Sense has seemed fine to me (although I do like the transparent notification drop down and app drawer of some of the others). I guess I don't know enough about it to really know what the big deal about Sense is.

Installed Go Launcher EX on my wife's LG Revolution tonight to check it out... really nice launcher.. think I'll install it after I actually get my Evo .

KOLIO · Jun 6, 2012

If you're looking for a smooth, lightweight replacement for the Sense U/I, check out HOLO LAUNCHER.

Snake X · Jun 6, 2012

ftl launcher is pretty fast/light (thats what I used on my warp I sold)

i stuck with GO after the first time i tried it.. i have launcher pro,but GO imo is the best launcher out there.. smooth fast and tons of themes for it...

Is there any way to get Sense to show more than (4) rows on the home screen?

ajgates92 · Jun 6, 2012

I used to this in that pfft ADW Launcher, surely Sense can pull it off.

ADW is a great launcher, as are many others.

I started out with LAUNCHER PRO PLUS, as a replacement for the unique, but clunky 3x3 U/I on the HUAWEI ASCEND, & stuck w/it for a long time, trying out many launchers along the way,yet, found myself returning to LPP, for its performance & familiarity w/a proven winner.

I believe quite a few people stick with the first replacement launcher that works for their phone & needs, & rightfully so.

It's taken a year for me to find the perfect launcher & HOLO LAUNCHER is the one for me, both for my phone & tablet.

BTW, ADW themes work w/this launcher,if you're interested in looking at trying HOLO LAUNCHER.

trippin · Jun 7, 2012

I have been using GO launcher for the longest time, I kept trying out different ones but kept going back to go launcher, but I tried the Quattrimus rom on my OpV and fell in love with Nova Launcher!

Go Launcher seems to be getting bloated lately, so I dunno

I will have to try it out. This is my first phone with sense, so I have been wanting to keep it lol.

ADW has always been my preferred launcher, however there is no right or wrong app. That's the great thing about Android, our ability to customize almost anything to make the phone truly "yours".

ajgates92 · Jun 8, 2012

I completely agree. That's why I don't care that the iPhone is coming to VM...I love my android too much.. I love customizing every little thing about it.

mastersoup · Jun 8, 2012

i just wish go launcher would hurry and add more features to their tablet version. atm using apex launcher on my transformer, but i keep go launcher there too and check frequently for updates lol.
